If the area is small, you'll be forced to choose a sofa which is less bulky and of a lighter colour to give the illusion of more space. If you opt for a large, dark sofa, in a small space, the room will look unbalanced. There's no way to get rid of this inconvenient unless, on the opposite side of the room, you place a piece of furniture looking just as big and harsh, but the results won't be that good.

Are you ready to redesign your living space? Are you interested in making sure that you have seating that will work well when you entertain your guests? If so, a loveseat might be just the piece of furniture to build your space around. With just one beautiful piece, you can not only change the look of your home but create a functional place to gather or just take five.

Another thing to remember about the arms of a sofa is that they affect how big the furniture looks. Narrow arms make the entire sofa look smaller, while big overstuffed ones do the opposite. Therefore, it is possible to get a larger-than-normal sofa to look good in a smaller room by choosing a narrow-armed version. In a big room, a sofa with big arms will look more luxurious.
